SmartSens Launches New 4K 1/3-Inch CMOS Image Sensor for Intelligent Security Applications

SmartSens today launched the SC201CS, a new 2MP CMOS image sensor in the Cellphone Sensor (CS) Series product lineup that will enable high-quality smartphone cameras. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1625450697578129495.jpg"/></div>The SC201CS comes in a 1/5.1-inch optical format at a pixel size of 1.75 <a name="_Hlk76052596">μm</a>, designed in two versions—SC201CS-mono and SC201-color and results in more choices for customers. The SC201CS allows mobile phones to capture improved scenes at night with the FPN and the read noise as low as 0.43e- rms and 1.5e- rms respectively. Simultaneously, the SC201CS delivers 35e-/s dark current and 87 ppm white pixel at 60°C and thus adapts well under high temperatures. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1625450669495609353.png"/></div>The SC201CS is available in CSP, RW and COB packaging options.
